Horwich RMI’s under 20 athletes had a good day out at the first Junior League meeting of the season at Cleckheaton with four new club records being set.

Pick of the performances was Becky Murphy – Bates who ran a very even paced 400m to win easily in a new club record.  Just for good measure she then followed that up with a personal best over 200m.

Becky then joined forces with Becky Norris, Jessica Tomlinson and Lianna Lonsdale in the 4 x 100m relay and just missed the club record in this event by 0.2 seconds.

Individually the girls had a number of top three performances from Becky Norris in the 400m H and 400m whilst Jessica Tomlinson also achieved 3rd over 400 m H despite a nasty fall over one hurdle.  Whilst in the field Sophie Barnett gained a 3rd in the High Jump.

The boys relay team were more successful with the 4 x 100m relay squad of Sam Gough, Josh Bettis, Jack Thomas and Bruce Pilkington setting new figures before they then reduced the old club record for the 4 x 400m relay by 12 seconds.  On an individual basis Bruce and Sam both easily won their 400m races whilst Jack ran a personal best over 200m.

To compete the new records Steven Sangwa set new figures for the club over 400m Hurdles in his first attempt at this event.
